A recent AJC poll found that a plurality of Georgian's now approve of same-sex marriage. Really? Really?? Even Georgia???
The poll showed that 48% favor, and 43% oppose gay marriage. This is just short of an actual majority, but still a definite plurality.
Because Georgia is one of those states that passed a constitutional amendment to forbid it, to overturn it will take either (1) a 2/3 vote in both legislative houses and then a simple majority of the voters; or (2) a U. S. Supreme Court decision that it is unconstitutional.
So don't expect this to happen any time soon. But this is quite an astonishing turn-around in itself. As with all other places, it is very much age related. The 18 to 30 age range strongly approves -- so just the passage of time will bring us there eventually.
